    Summary

    Love was supposed to be beautiful. Instead, it was killing her.
    5 years after graduating from U.A., Ashina Morana is a hardened pro hero, her past innocence long buried beneath blood, betrayal, and the petals she still secretly coughs up. Hanahaki disease—a cruel consequence of unrequited love—should have faded with time, but working alongside Katsuki on a high-stakes case brings everything rushing back. The memories, the feelings, the pain.
    But love isn’t the only thing haunting her. Ashina’s life is laced with violence, scars left by hands she trusted, and a darkness she refuses to speak of. Yet, she refuses to break. Not for her disease. Not for the nightmares. Not for him.
    As the case she has to work on with Katsuki spirals into chaos and the shadows threaten to consume her, Ashina must make an impossible choice: keep fighting for a future that may never come, or let the disease, the pain, and the love she can never have finally destroy her.
